Top five home decorating resolutions to follow
Each New Year gives us an opportunity to set goals, bring changes, create resolutions and improve our lives. Perhaps, getting healthy or cutting down on calories would be one of our cliched resolutions. Why not think of and follow an unusual resolution this year like having the most organised home or reducing the carbon footprint at home? In short, home decor resolutions! Here are some ideas.
De-cluttering and getting organised:
One of the key resolutions is to get your home organised. Organizing and de-cluttering your home might take some time but will help you in the long run making you feel contented. Start by de-cluttering your home by disposing/donating away utilities which are not being used. Places like the closets, kitchen cupboards and attics should be cleaned and organised. Disposing away a lot of objects will eventually create more space.
Follow a style:
Make your home decor appealing by having your own style. Get an idea about which style suits you through magazines, TV shows, books and online sites. Try including decorative embellishments like wallpapers, China patterns and exquisitely designed rugs. It is advisable that you put down all your ideas in a book which can help you throughout the organisation process.
Reuse, recycle and appreciate:
Going green with your home decor is one of the best resolutions one can follow. Recycling and reusing home decoration objects will not only let you use your old furniture but will also save your expenses. You can always polish and paint your old furniture and keep them intact for years together.
Embrace your home:
A home is considered as a nest and it should be designed for safety. Put in little extra efforts and try spending your weekend on decorating and restyling your home. Ensure to design all the rooms in such a way that makes you feel refreshed and rejuvenated. Frequent repainting and shifting of furniture will give your home a different look.
Follow the unplug mantra:
Cutting down on energy consumption and making our homes more efficient should be your top priority. In fact, most home owners have switched from incandescent lights to LED lights. Ensure that you always unplug the appliances when not in use as to reduce power consumption.
